lizard rests on the sidewalk
looks me right in the face
–hey, he says
i stare down into his black eyes
his ribs don’t move in and out
the way i think they should
but he’s definitely alive
definitely talking to me
–hey, i say back
he shakes his, and odd human gesture
on his little reptilian body
–seriously?
i’m a talking lizard for fuck’s sake
that’s the best you can dredge up?
he scuttles toward the fence
almost makes it underneath
–check out the peach tree, i say
there’s lots of flies
sure to find a meal
and a pile of bricks
to hide behind
he nods
–thanks
sorry for swearing
i shrug
and he is gone
Words and Feathers 
Lizards can be smart asses, but they’re pretty honest. I chuckled reading your funny poem. Your imagination is quite rampant in the hot weather. 😀
It’s the dehydration. 💦
Good! You quench your thirst in the word fountain.
Can’t beat a grumpy lizard! Unless you have a stick and good reflexes.
Ha ha! I would never attack a lizard 🦎. Squirrel, maybe. I am convinced they are plotting my death.
